Good morning folks! The rain is winding down across the region and isolated showers are possible the rest of the day under passing clouds, with temps reaching the upper 30's - low 50's in SW flow.

Soaking Rain Monday; Low 60's Tuesday?!?
Good afternoon folks! Sunny skies today and Sunday sure have setup a gorgeous late January weekend, with temps warming to the upper 40's - mid 50's across the lower elevations each afternoon.
